Hello CJU! Dev of Horror Tales The Beggar here! First, thanks SO much for playing the exclusive Demo. I was super nervous watching you play because I knew this game was not going to be what you expected at all! Please, add to Steam wishlist even if you don't plan to play and will see CJU's gameplay only. It does helps A LOT! From your video I can see you loved it so yesss, I am super happy! The Wine was a very classical horror game. This one is the experimental one :) In the final game of course the conexions with Horror Tales The Wine will be revealed and every question CJU had will be answered too. There is even a post-credits scene in this one. We hope to announce a release date for Steam, Playstation and Xbox super soon. We aimed to publish on April buuut something is delaying us in Playstation. Oh and yes, if CJU accepts, he will get another present again. Something green probably. What could it be? :) Big hug. You are an awesome community!

[@LuisaM-]

[@Laura_Parenti]

The Beggar is so intriguing and I can’t wait to see Chris play the full version when it comes out! Thanks for all of your hard work, on this and other games. I think I’m going to go back to CJU’s play through of The Wine again, to see if I can find any connections other than the name of the wine. Usually when a demo is released, it can take up to a year or more before the full game comes out. I know you said you don’t have a release date yet due to delays with the PS5 version, but does that mean we hopefully won’t have to wait as long for the full game?

This game looks SICK, I love the dilapidated look that is somehow still nice to look at, not rotten and disgusting. Those wolves are too cute, that little bone interaction was very satisfying because I wanted to pet them all. The deliberately messy text is fun, the story seems very creative, I might have to play this myself.

[@digitalization]

Ohh it's the devs that made that game with all those brightly lit environments that was both beautiful and still scary! (With SOME darker environments too, ofc.) I love their use of lighting, the darker is scarier and red is scary formula in most horror games have gotten quite old. Made the game stand out even after watching so many horror games, and I think I might try this one myself first, I love sci-fi elements! Amazing demo.

[@theblackrabbit1710]

That bit out under the sun reminds me of Amnesia: Rebirth. Resting in the shadows to not get cooked under the sun.

To be honest it happens often in desert maps... there's also a thing like that in one mission in Mass Effect 2 or in Coromon too for example

[@fredd3233]

Very impressive visuals, cool mechanics, mindfucky story, and I have great memories of Horror Tales : The Wine, so I couldn't be more excited for this one ! Hopefully this will lead to a series on the channel when it's out ^^ Side note : Chris, I confess I miss the time when you mostly played series on the channel, with single videos indie games being sprinkled between series episodes (or between series). I like single videos indie games as much as the next guy, but it's harder to feel as invested in shorter games as in a several episode series. Plus Il'll be honest they tend to all blur together - except for the few gems that stand out every once in a while. This was by no means a rant, just something I thought of while considering the last series on the channel were Reveil a few weeks ago and... Alan Wake 2, which ended way back at the beginning of December.

[@TaramiBedona]

I think the new Alone in the Dark is a game Chris would enjoy. 😊 The gameplay is a bit janky but the story is swell!

[@fredd3233]

@@TaramiBedona I was really expecting Chris to play it, even more so since he played the prologue and seemed to enjoy it, plus it was THE big horror game of early 2024 so it seemed like a no-brainer. I've seen several people in the comments (myself included) ask if he was gonna play it, but I didn't see an answer (or if he answered, I missed it). I'm starting to wonder if Chris made a conscious decision to move away from long-running series to focus on single videos? Maybe he even communicated about this but I missed it, idk.

[@PetitTasdeBoue]

Yeah I was surprised too he left it alone. Maybe he tried it but didn't liked it anymore ? or then he had some bug, or he lost the footage ? who knows. There's so many kind of games! he may just be annoyed because people keep asking him about a game lol

[@fredd3233]

@@PetitTasdeBoue For sure, there are many perfectly valid reasons like you said. But there are many other games he could have a played instead of AitD (as a series I mean) and he seems to focus instead (almost) exclusively on single video indie games, and that has been going on for a long time now (I noticed that even before Alan Wake 2 tbh).

[@TaramiBedona]

I think long-running series have an issue with viewership; AW2 started pretty well with 55K views for the first part (slightly better than the average one-off video), but it dwindled to 25K within a few parts, then all the way to 10K by the end. AitD would be a shorter series (the game is only 6-8 hours, rather than almost 20 hours like AW2) but I imagine it'd see similar falloff. If I were to guess, long-running series don't suit Chris's audience, which is seemingly more interested in low-commitment bedtime distractions than following elaborate narratives. A viewer can't pick up AW2 at part 8. He'd probably have to publish two videos (one of the series, one one-off) those days just to make expected numbers. Maybe doable, but more work. As he does this for a living now, I suppose there's a stronger financial incentive to stick to the better performing one-offs than there was in the past.

[@graceonthewater]

Awww man I am so hyped for this one! I absolutely loved your playthrough of Horror Tales The Wine. (Also the monster in this one is an even better jump scare than the headless guy. That cat scream gets me every time lol)

[@macrograms]

you know - i hear this similar intro every time and every time I chuckle. you are the funny that never gets old. NEVER CHANGE. :) one more thing: the dialogue in this game is flipping nuts and amazing. it's -- no. words. example: "Giving it a name helps to shape it when the inevitable confrontation begins in the future." uh, what?

[@Wolfbane382]

Please correct me if I'm wrong but if I remember correctly the wine was made out of blood right. So what kind of blood were these guys using? Alien?! That might be the only way to explain the powers, hallucinations, and why it looks post-apocalyptic.

[@CarlosCoronadoGameDev]

hurmm no, the wine was not made out of blood. Actually, in The Wine it is never explained what caused the wine to go that way. I am super sure in The Beggar we will know the answer. I know it because I am the dev.

[@Wolfbane382]

Oh wow! I was not expecting the actual dev to answer my comment. Thank you for at least confirming that it wasn't blood. Because I honestly thought that is what the wine was made out of. Can't wait to see what actually happens in this one. ^^

-The astronaut one isn't next? -No shot that this dev got Control 2 out before Remedy did. Beating those walking simulator allegations. -Why is Morvin just Ermac from Mortal Kombat? -If drinking the Danydebosc wine was what gave Akira, uhh I mean, the albino beggar his powers, the protag from The Wine could have used that in his final fight against Albert. -Color scheme: Morvin's powers are green (the same harmful energy detailed in the dead guy's note) versus the Beggar's violet (Purple? Indigo?) -In most games where the protag has telekinesis, I always regret that 1.) they can't pick up the majority of things, especially small objects, 2.) they more often than not cannot lift themselves and 3.) no clear limitations/constraints of the ability are established (hot take: Jesse Faden from Control passes all of these criteria)
